Between summer mornings and
sweet spring rain
they stepped
into love
a light
in which winter gardens thawed
from their grey blue nights
as though freezing cold snow
was a dream for the year
and now
flower season
blossoms
the fruit of life

&quot;Thomas Edison&#039;s last words were &#039;It&#039;s very beautiful over there&#039;. I don&#039;t know where there is, but I believe it&#039;s somewhere, and I hope it&#039;s beautiful.&quot; -John Green (Looking For Alaska)

I think that this poem was absolutely brilliant. I loved the flow of every line into the next, and the imagery was so real. 

You're an amazing writer :)
